Dearly Beloved we must have rest in Him,
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
Being in Him we will have peace. This is abiding within the Prince of Peace. Don't let fretting or anxiety attack you. That is flesh or Satan trying to pry out of your position. This doesn't mean in your position you won't go through trouble.
Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Through our scurrying around and being busy with life we are shown by scripture Christ leading us to lay down and rest.
Mark 6:31 "And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat."
He is the Good Shepherd Psalm 23. He displays the care in His heart for us when we need to be refreshed. He also wants our hearts and minds to be at ease so that we can be in perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Our lives demand through this culture, fast pace slam dunk in your face lives. But let us not forget the priority of God in our lives.
Philippians 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
This kind of Rest allows us to have hope and joy. It allows us to see that God is not demanding hard lives but healthy lives. He is good! He understands conditions of the mind, body and spirit! Don't be afraid you were already fashioned for this. Just look at
2 Timothy 1:9 "Who hath saved us, and called us
with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,"
Romans 15:13 "Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
Again, our position must not be lost with tribulations. We must fasten ourselves within Him to make it through.
Psalm 91:1 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."
